The Toronto Maple Leafs have got their defenseman, signing former Calgary Flames blue-liner T.J. Brodie to a four-year contract carrying an average annual value of $5 million, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Brodie is left-handed but he's spent the majority of his career playing the right side with Mark Giordano on Calgary's top pairing. The 30-year-old tallied 19 points in 64 games last season while averaging over 20 minutes per night.
The Maple Leafs are now $1.1 million over the salary cap and still have a pair of restricted free agents to re-sign in Ilya Mikheyev and Travis Dermott, per CapFriendly.
